Inca Engeneering
Aqueducts
The water came mostly from nearby rivers, but was also brought down from fresh water springs on mountains
In seasons when too much mountain snow melted, the flood waters were carried to huge masonry reservoirs for storage
Due to water scarcity in the Andean region, advanced water management allowed the Inca to thrive and expand along much of the Pacific coast of South America
The Inca built such structures to increase arable land and provide drinking water and baths to the population
Terrace Farming
he stone would gather heat throughout the day and during the night would distribute the heat to the plants
Because they had stone around them, erosion was virtually impossible.
2,471,053 acres of farmland covered much of the Incan empire
The Inca grew potatoes, quinoa, and corn with the terraces
the Inca dug terraces on mountains sides used to farm

influenced by the art and techniques of the Chimu civilization
Works using precious metals such as discs, jewellery, figures, and everyday objects were made exclusively for Inca noble
Incas did make their own art
Language

Quechua was the language of the Inca empire
Quechua is an Amerind language with about 8 million people in Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and Argentina
The number and shape of the knots and the colours of the strings helped to remind messengers of the contents of the messages
Inca used a system of knotted strings known as quipu to send messages around their empire
Govenment and Rule

there was no currency in the Inca world, taxes were paid in kind - usually foodstuffs, precious metals, textiles, exotic feathers, dyes, and spondylus shell
Inca mathematics was almost identical to the system we use today
Each ayllu was governed by a small number of nobles or kurakas, a role which could include women

Causeways and Canals
These bridges could be removed when the city was being attacked
The Aztecs also built many canals throughout the city
here were also bridges built into the causeways that allowed small boats and canoes to travel under them
The canals acted like water roads that allowed people to easily travel around the large city in boats
There were three major causeways that led from the island city to the mainland
